TRAINING: Officers are undergoing training in how to use the body cameras ahead of the April roll-out

He said: "We fully support the roll-out. They are a very useful tool, and the footage can be used as evidence in court.

"One of the areas I can see this technology being particularly useful is around domestic violence. Victims do not always want to make statements, but if officers who are called to these type of incidents have evidence on camera, it could prove to be a valuable evidential tool."

"I believe these cameras will demonstrate that officers do police appropriately. They will help, I am sure, exonerate officers accused of not policing appropriately, and help speed up the process for both officer and complainant."

Mr Musgrave believes officers and the public, provided they keep within the law, have nothing to fear when the technology is introduced.
